It's 1932 and Kit's father has been forced to close his car dealership. In these formulaic but readable stories, Kit learns to adapt to her family's new economic status. In the historical sections at the end of each book, the Depression does take on more authentic dimensions, but Kit's problems never seem real. The idealized paintings add to the glossy surface look at the era. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
